Production loss management using line balancing and cycle time reduction

Profit is life-line of any business. Profit can be increased by minimizing the losses in production and continuous improvement in quality. Losses will have a negative impact on the productivity and quality of the products produced by any organization. If cycle time is used as one the tool to measure each workstation’s productivity, then reducing the cycle time at the workstation will minimize the time loss in production thereby increasing the productivity. The workstation which takes the longest cycle time will be the critical process or bottleneck process. Also, line balancing is used as one of the effective tools for reducing the cycle time. So, the productivity can be increased only if the critical process is ‘debottlenecked.’ The line efficiency also improves. This paper is aimed at identifying bottleneck workstations with the longest cycle time activities and reducing the losses in production at each workstation in an assembly line of automobile drive head.

Thesis

Heat load inspection cum energy audit of AutoCAD laboratory in the department of mechanical engineering, St. John college of engineering and management.

A lot of productive activities are ongoing to bring our systems from Energy consumption to Energy Saving. In spite of the clean corridors and orderly placed laboratory instruments along with the energy conservative measures taken by teaching as well as non-teaching faculty, St. John College of Engineering, Palghar is facing comfort related issues due to addition of new infrastructure, which is restricting the advantage of green and eco-friendly environment from spreading all over the structure. The AutoCAD laboratory is an example of this scenario. A project was undertaken so that it’s Cooling Load and Energy consumption required by the system was analyzed. The aim was to calculate, design and suggest several implementations and modifications that will bring about desired comfort without altering the infrastructure. This will reduce the cooling load required and will save the electricity consumption. The rated power calculated for the single laboratory was around 30MW per year, which can be optimized if the appliance changes are made. The project further discusses some implementations, such as passive cooling, non-conventional methods of cooling and ventilation that will directly affect the humidity instead of heat load. Energy Audit is mostly done independently which restricts its generalization and puts it on its standard level of singular energy-saving implementation. EA when done with other activities and Inspections such as HLC, the simultaneous changes in readings can be observed accordingly. This helps in avoiding excessive calculation and future implementation of such audits.

An experimental investigation on the combine effect of Bagasse ash and rubber tyre in production of bricks

This work carried out partial replacement of fly ash by bagasse ash with waste rubber tyre in order to reduce industrial waste. The effective use of these waste products is challenging task for researcher through environmental impact. Bagasse is often used as a primary fuel source for sugar mills. When burned in quantity, it produces sufficient heat energy to supply all the needs of a typical sugar mill, with energy to spare. This sugar manufacturing industries produces a lot of sugarcane bagasse ash which is disposed of in an open land. Huge quantity of ash which is a waste product, available at very negligible rate. This sugarcane bagasse ash is a fibrous waste product and has pozzolanic properties which can be made use in construction industry. Pozzolanic materials can be used as a partial replacement in the production of low cost fly ash bricks. Bagasse ash is utilized by replacing it with fly ash in bricks. Trial bricks were tested with different proportions of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% with replacement of BA. These bricks were tested in Compression test and Water absorption test as per Indian Standards. The aim of this research was to make economical and green bricks to maintain environmental balance, and avoid problem of ash disposal.

Review Paper

A Review on the Combine Effect of Bagasse Ash and Rubber Tyre in Production of Bricks

India is the second largest in major sugar producing countries. Due to that there is increase in bagasse as a by-product from the sugar mill. Bagasse is the fibrous residue of sugar cane after crushing and extraction of juice. Sugar cane bagasse ash is the waste product of the combustion of bagasse for energy in sugar factories. Sugar cane bagasse ash is disposed of in landfills and is now becoming an environmental burden. Fly ash bricks can be extensively used in all building constructional activities similar to that of common burnt clay bricks. The objective of this work is to review the information regarding Fly Ash brick properties and their uses in a most concise, compact and to the point manner.

Combine effect of rice husk ash and silica fume with glass powder on concrete production by cement replacement

Concrete is major civil engineering construction material, because the ingredients of concrete are locally available materials. In ordinary concrete the cement is used as major binding material. The usage of cement in concrete causes lot of environmental pollution due to emission of greenhouse gases. So that it is necessary to reduce usage of cement by introducing new supplementary cementitious materials which are the by-products of industries to reduce debris. The rice husk ash is one of the by product which is released from paddy. The usage of rice husk ash in concrete leads to development of high strength concrete and also reduces the self-weight of the structure. In this study, partial replacement (by weight) of cement with RHA and silica fume with glass powder in paver blocks is used for determining the change in the compressive strength, water absorption of paver blocks. Partial replacement of cement in different percentage as like 10%, 20%, 30% and 40 % has been done. The compressive strength has been determined at the end of 7, 14 and 28 days, water absorption test has been determined at 28 days.
